Andrew Lipovsky/NBCEllie Kemper announced some "big news" Wednesday: "I'm pregnant!"
The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt actress revealed she's expecting on NBC's The Tonight Show. "Hi, baby! Hi! I can't wait until you see the show. Your mommy's very funny and very talented," Jimmy Fallon said while getting close to her baby bump. Kemper, 35, told the late-night host, "In fact, you're the first one to bless him or her. And now I reveal it's actually just a disco ball."
Fallon then gave her a pint of Tonight Dough Ben & Jerry's ice cream. "Anyone who knows me, I love Ben & Jerry's. I'm not just saying this because it's your show—Tonight Dough is my favorite flavor. I've been having a pint every other night," the mom-to-be confessed. "I will probably fall asleep while I eat this because it's like a Pavlovian response...I fall asleep eating it at night."
According to Fallon, "Every baby turns out to be a genius if you eat it while you're pregnant. We haven't proved that yet, but I think so." Kemper jokingly said, "We're going to in a few months!"
